ABSTRACT:
A housing assembly 5 for use with electrical/electronic components includes a housing 10, spacer sleeves 20 spaced along a periphery of the housing 10, and at least one electrical component 40 in a cavity 6 of the housing 10. Electrical component 40 includes a pair of electrical contacts 46 molded in a dielectric body 41, and each contact 46 includes a midsection 47 of a generally arcuate shape. The contacts 46 maximize the amount of electrical power to be transmitted therethrough and are electrically isolated from other electrical components in the housing, and the arcuate midsection 47 strengthens the contact to prevent deformation thereof during the injection molding process. Additionally, body 41 comprises annular recesses 42 which receive the housing material therein during an insert molding process, thereby sealingly fixing the component 40 in the housing 10 and minimizing production costs.
